For the CC-version, this series will consist of 4 seperate tournaments, all are single elimination with a 64-player bracket max. Players choose their own map (no beta) and settings per tournament, not allowing manual and freestyle. Every tournament will have it's own tie-breaker map in case of a draw. Opening rounds and bronze medal match will be a best-of-5, from the semi-finals on it will be best-of-7. In every round you will play 2 or 3 games on your home map and the same number of games on your opponents map. Round limit is set at 20. Reaching the limit means an auto-win for the away team in that specific game. In other words: you severly loose your home advantage if you do not take the game down within the round limit.

All games in one round will normally be sent out at once, hence no freemiums. If you are ahead of the average schedule, i might send out 4 games first in best-of-7 games. Tie-breakers can be send out before the actual tie if the game data shows 'a very likely' result.To avoid confusion you will normally play both home and away games with the same color.

The Four Hills Tournament (German: Vierschanzentournee) is composed of four Ski Jumping World Cup events and has taken place in Germany and Austria each year since 1952. Whether you are a manic ski jumping fan or not, at least it suits pretty well as a tournament series theme.

There will be a total ranking for the Series, grab points per tournament in the following order:[*]Winner 20[*]Finalist 15[*]Bronze 11[*]4th place 9[*]Quarters 5[*]Eights 2

Brackets will be filled with Challonge!, with seeding based upon the tournament ranking at the time of opening the tournament. All points collected from fully finished rounds from previous tournaments will count. So if 1 Quarter Final is still going in the previous tournament, no points will be awarded for this round yet for the seeding system. In case of a draw on tournament ranking, highest CC-ranked player will prevail for the top 8 seeding. Below that it will be as random as the Excel sort-option gets... In every tournament the top 16 of the Series Ranking will be auto-admitted if signing-up.

- Not accepting a game within 24 hours will result in a yellow card. The first two have no consequence, from the third on every yellow card will result in a straight loss for the game(s) involved. - All games will have a Round Limit of 20 to ensure tournament progress.- Fog of War-courtesy will not be applied- In any case of dispute, my wisdom will decide.- I've got a very short foe list, don't bother signing up if you are on it...

If you sign up using one line, you'll help me out copy-pasting quicker when the tourney gets rolling. So you can skip the 'in please' formality and do it like:Conquer Rome, no spoils, unlimited, fog
